PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- Sen. John Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, has tested positive for COVID-19 and is working from home, according to the senator's official account on X.
Fetterman posted a message to X on Sunday afternoon, saying he is "experiencing mild symptoms" and is "following the appropriate CDC guidance."
The full posting said, "After a busy week in D.C., I've tested positive for COVID-19 and am experiencing mild symptoms. I'm grateful to be fully vaccinated and will be working from home, following the appropriate CDC guidance."
Fetterman's health has been a focus on the political scene in the past. In 2022, while running for Senate, Fetterman suffered a stroke. A year later, he received care for clinical depression at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He was hospitalized there for six weeks.
In an interview in May 2023 with KDKA Political Editor Jon Delano, Fetterman attributed the depression not only to his stroke, but also to what he calls a brutal campaign for the Senate seat he eventually won.
"It was after the brutality of the campaign, the other side," Fetterman said. "Some people believe it was one of the most vicious political campaigns."
When he returned to the Senate in April of last year, he earned praise from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for seeking the help he needed and encouraging others to do the same.
When asked on "CBS Mornings" what advice he'd give to others in a similar circumstance, Fetterman said, "get help — it works."
The Pennsylvania Democrat noted that he had been skeptical before he sought treatment, saying that he thought nothing would help.
"But it did. And it worked," he said.
Why? That carp can kill ya.
Ten more boosters and you are SUPERMAN!
Could be the jab caused the stroke. Was Biden sniffing him last week and spread the virus? Biden was back in the WH in 5 days so Fetterman shouldn’t be too cooped up too long.
Super Duper Superman!
Ja?
I don't need to know every time a politician gets a cold.

Although kopi luwak is a form of processing rather than a variety of coffee, it has been called one of the most expensive coffees in the world, with retail prices reaching US$100 per kilogram for farmed beans and US$1,300 per kilogram for wild-collected beans.[9] Another epithet given to it is that it is the "Holy Grail of coffees."[10]Drink up Moca Java fans!
Somebody tried to trick me into tasting tiramisu, but I smelled the vile stuff first.
Another Plaxovid customer. Make sure his squeeze gets him some York Peppermint Patties.
STOP IT. It is NOT a “cold..” I’ve had it three times and it is totally different. Fauxi, someday, will pay.
It was “engineered…” that’s why it murdered three plus million people!
Bull!
It was supposed to be the Final Solution for the Social Security “crisis”.
Biden tested positive then resigned his campaign.
I bet Fetterman is too pro-Israel for Kamala Hamas, so he might get resigned as well.
Interesting timing...
Still think he’ll be Deep State’s pick for veep...
I don’t understand why they keep announcing when someone has this.
I might test positive too, should I ever bother to take a test.
Democrats just can’t let it go.
Notice that it is only Democrats who are obsessively "testing" and "testing positive."
I had a hangnail last week.
Well, it did take a lot of people out.
